Enigma code:The enigma code in the trailer is that the new boy in school is harassed and forced to fight and because he gets beaten up once he decides the only way to stop them is train and become better than them.So the enigma codes is the part when his girlfriend,who he initial steals from the villain, Says "walking away and doing nothing is not the same thing" and replies "good because im not doing either one."this code revels to the audience that he is going to fight back.

Action codes:Its hard to pin point one action code in a trailer because it points them all out so the main action code is at the beginning where the villain humiliates him in front of everyone ,that goes to the school, and so the code is when the villain puts on the kick boxing gloves and says "what the hell are you doing here i your not going to fight".
